Pres. Hinckley's
comments about critics of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

. . . .

On the other hand, during these years I have come to know of the mean and contemptuous ways of our critics.
I think the Lord had them in mind when he declared:

Cursed are all those that shall lift up the heel against mine anointed, saith the Lord, and cry they have sinned when they have not sinned before me, . . . but have done that which was meet in mine eyes, and which I commanded them.

. . . Those who cry transgression do it because they are the servants of sin, and are the children of disobedience themselves. . . .

Wo unto them. . . .

Their basket shall not be full, their houses and their barns shall perish, and they themselves shall be despised by those that flattered them" (D&C 121:16­17, 19­20).

We leave to Him, whose right it is, judgments that may come to those who oppose His work.
